Time for an x-ray: If possible, an x-ray would be helpful to confirm or exclude a fracture. A physical exam will also shed light on the possibility of a ligament sprain, tendon strain, cartilage tear or contusion. For now, rest from weight-bearing, ice and a short course of anti-inflammatories can ease your discomfort.
